Our blog hop each month is a project along the theme of the tutorial, but is a different design from the tutorial project. This is an alternative version of my Tutorial Card.

I have created a card full of background scenery for that gorgeous Chair which has been coloured using Blender Pens.


I love a fun Z fold for giving great scenic vistas!


The writing panel for this card is on the back and reflects the lovely imagery of the front.

Wild Bunch Waterside Retreat Inspiration CTC#574


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)



This week, we are CASEING from the Waterside Retreat Suite.


I have used the layout of the card featuring the chair and book as the starting point to make a bunch of tags with the super gorgeous Wild Bunch stamp set!


I made heaps of these for the kits bags at our Retreat Day yesterday!!  Lots of colouring of those gorgeous little animals using Stampin' Blends.


I stamped the background for each of the little animals using Peaceful Pine and the leafery in the stamp set.


The heart was stamped using Crisp Cantaloupe and then coloured with a Barely Blush Stampin' Blend.


And the finishing touches were a tie using Bubble Bath ribbon, and some lovely Dreamy Flowers embellishments.  There is also a little strip of Shimmering Stripes DSP to give the tags some extra sparkle.


I've used Black Stampin' Blends with Pumpkin Pie for the penguin and stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock.


The cute koala was coloured using Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends (of course!) with Petal Pink inner ears!


I found the snail the trickiest to decide on colours because the rainforest snails I see here are deep brown.  So I decided upon Cloud Cover and Crumb Cake highlights for the shell and Petal Pink for the slug body! 


And finally the gorgeous Highland Cow was coloured using Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends with Petal Pink for the horns, nose and ears.  


How could you NOT love this gorgeous stamp set!!!

Up next is the extraordinary Judy
